McMenemy's greatest talent as Southampton manager was persuading top, top footballers to come and play for us - I'm not sure that his tactical nous was all that brilliant, as his record at other clubs shows. Most of these players were not exactly in the first flush of youth but were experienced and had a few years left at the highest level. A bit like Frank Lampard today. Unfortunately he couldn't do that today - they all want silly money.

Cue the inevitable 'naughty boy' joke.

Seems they are now honouring vouchers http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-21118711 If you've got 'em, get down there quick!

You have dashed my hopes of maybe becoming the new Bryan Robson.

I watch a lot of the EPL on TV - I'm not sure that qualifies me to manage a PL club. I'd have a go if asked though, its good money for at least 2.5 years even if I f*cked up - which I would obviously.

Edited slightly, but this is exactly how I feel - and have done for some time. He has also succeeded by his actions today of making the club very unpopular in the wider football community, as is evidenced by this amazing response in in comments section of this BBC article.

What's the betting he won't show up on Monday? Little s*it.

Still calling him atkins - is he sotonjoe?

Just downloaded CS2 to my ancient PowerPC mac, running OS 10.5.8 and it all works fine! Many thanks! PS Photoshop is a brilliant program - and really not all that difficult.

The centre of the universe is everywhere, as all cosmologists know. If you don't understand this simple fact - join the club.

Don't forget Newcastle - terrible ATM and now they've lost Ba.

Well spotted

Maybe not, but this bloke's having a good go. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Turok I'd rather believe in modern physics than ancient mumbo-jumbo. Sadly, no afterlife involved though.

Yep - once they stop moving you can use 'em for stationery.

Not just me then - he is so fantastic. Or maybe a fantasty.

That's a pity, apparently they've just released the Mk 2. I reckon one of these would be just the thing for you.

I think "one under" is the phrase used on the London Underground." Very common and very sad. There are a lot of desperately unhappy people in London.

Or throwing a hair dryer.

I wouldn't mind betting that these clueless idiots think UKIP are something to do with the BNP.

What's Pietersen doing there? He lives in Chelsea FFS!

The fact remains he's the best we've got - and he could go a long way. Who do you suggest is better at the moment? Boruc? Davis? Do me a f*ckin favour. I'd stick with Gazzaniga.

Whatever
